Medicaid Renewals - Stay Covered ND

Since April 1, 2023, North Dakota has begun regular Medicaid renewals for people whose coverage was temporarily extended due to the COVID-19 public health emergency to make sure they still qualify.

This means that some Medicaid members may lose their coverage if they don't take simple steps now.

Health coverage is critical for children to thrive in school and in life.

If you care for a child enrolled in ND Medicaid, we may need to contact you to see if they still qualify for coverage. Here are THREE actions you need to take to prepare.

• Make sure your contact information is correct.
• Check your mail.
• Complete your renewal form (if you get one).

To update your contact information or for questions, contact the Customer Support Center:

• Toll-free: 866-614-6005, 711 (TTY)
• Email: applyforhelp@nd.gov
